Gwangju National Science Museum Recruiting Participants for July Nighttime Astronomy Observation Program

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] The National Gwangju Science Museum will recruit participants for the nighttime celestial observation program "Night Sky Observation Captain" starting from the 21st.

The Night Sky Observation Captain program will be held twice on the 6th and 7th of next month, and teams of up to three people, including elementary school students from grade 3 and above, can participate.

The program involves learning about the types and principles of astronomical telescopes, assembling and operating telescopes directly, and freely observing celestial bodies.

Participants will experience astrophotography using telescopes and smartphones and can take home the celestial photos they have taken as souvenirs.

If celestial observation becomes difficult due to weather conditions, alternative programs such as making Dobsonian telescope miniatures will be offered.

The Gwangju Science Museum strictly follows the COVID-19 prevention guidelines set by the government and local authorities and instructs all participants to wear masks.
